Anyone Have Trouble With Gluten Free Pantry Brownies?

we thought we'd try them and within 1/2 hour I was in so much pain and then spent most of my evening in the bathroom (sorry :()

they tasted great but oh my gosh! I also bought the spice cake and the favorite sandwich bread but now I'm afraid to make them.

anyone else have trouble with their products?

The few time that I have made them, I haven't had a problem. Could it be a pre-gluten free pan? Wooden spoons?

great thoughts but no, I just bought a new baking pan and it was new utensils. Since hubby was diagnosed as well we started over with everything in the kitchen so all of it is fresh. I started thinking maybe it was something I'd eaten earlier in the day catching up with me so today I had one small brownie and my stomach again was doing cartwheels and cramping really badly. oh well, at least they tasted good! I think I will try the other products I bought but stay away from the brownies from now on.

Could it be gluten crumbs in your mixer? (Not in the blades, but up above where they attach--sometimes batter splashes up there and then dries, and then crumbles off when you make something else.)

Besides for another food intolerance, what I was remembering was that until several months went by, all the gluten-free bread substitutes gave me bigger tummy aches than the gluten did. I'm not sure why,unless it was just because my gut hadn't yet healed? I remember eating a sandwich made with gluten-free bread, and feeling like I'd swallowed a brick.

Someone suggested making sure I drink a lot of water with gluten-free breads, and that does seem to help.

thank you for the ideas. I didn't use a mixer so it couldn't have been that but I got glutened at the end of March and maybe this aggravated it. My tummy this morning is still rumbly and I have a lot of indigestion so I'll drink alot of fluids today and see if that helps.

Swallowing a brick is a good description, even with the D, I feel like there's a brick in there. And I've got anxiety like crazy this morning and that only happens when I've been glutened but I've been doing all the cooking here lately and I know I haven't bought or made anything with gluten. I don't know what's going on with that.

thank you again for the suggestions

Around Xmas time, my son(not sure if he's Celiac) and I tried the gluten-free Pantry's all-purpose flour in a cookie recipie. It hurt both of our tummies but in a different way than glutening. I've never had that problem with other products. It had guar gum insted of xanthan gum so I was wondering if that was it but it is in so many processed products and I haven't had a noticable problem with anything else.

that's an idea too, I don't normally drink milk or use it in anything so if this had it, I could have had a reaction to that. I only had to add eggs and oil but it may have had milk products in the mix. Also Missys Mom mentioned the guar gum. I don't know if that was in the brownies or not and I threw the box away when I put the pan in the oven so I can't look it up!

I had a few bites of yogurt this morning and then a baked sweet potato for dinner and my tummy is feeling better tonight. Hopefully this has all passed.....

I remember someone saying their new bread machine had glutened them the first time they used it... The coating they put on the pans in the factory may have something in them. I'm so sorry something so good (and decadent) made you feel so bad.

BTW, the spice cake is godd, but it's GREAT with the molasses variation. I grew up on southern gingerbread cake and this is really close. (OK, except the whole rice flour texture thing).

I had that problem with my waffle maker the first and only the first time I used it.

I made them once a little over a year ago and also had problems. I had been extremely careful that there was no cross contamination on my part making them, or anything else I had eaten that day. I never made them again after that. I wouldn't rule out all their products but I just stear clear of the brownies.

thank you everyone. I feel better after reading all your posts. I did wash the pan before using it but not in the dishwasher with the super hot water so maybe if it was contaminated somehow, I didn't get it all out. I'm glad (but also sorry) to hear that someone else has had problems with the brownies. Surely they don't have gluten??? I really felt horrible though and had a lot of classic symptoms in response to them. My anxiety has lessened thru today but I feel that lethargic, irritable after-feeling.

Thanks again!!!

Ann

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
